Hilton Sorrento PalaceSorrento - Italy

Mare Forum’s
Maritime Italy 2009 brings together many of the
leaders of Italian shipping community and
squares them up to global players in the
shipping and finance world. In a robust forum
which is the logical sequence to the successful
Maritime Italy conferences held in 2006, 2007
and 2008, you and they will have a chance to
join a frank debate on the recovery of the
shipping markets, and how and where to raise
capital today and in the near future.

The credit crunch is slowing down the global
economy and shipping is suffering. But sooner or
later the economy will recover and shipping will
recover even faster. This conference addresses
and explores opportunities as well as dangers
while we strive toward global economic recovery.
When will shipping come back to normal? Are
shipbuilding cancelations and ship scrapping
enough to rebalance the fleet? What will happen
to global shipping banks and where will the
shipping money come from to fund the recovery?
How will we manage during the downturn and what
are the lessons from the past? All these
questions and more will be addressed and
answered during this forum.

CEOs from shipping, trading and brokerage
companies, key investors in shipping, bankers,
consultants and entrepreneurs will gather at
this prestigious conference in Sorrento on May
11, 2009 where an exchange of views, visions and
valuable information will make this forum
another unforgettable and meaningful experience.
